PROFILE: Bursting out of the Detroit suburbs, not far from Boy Howdy land, this bespectacled wonder boy gave up stints in local bands to tour as John Lennon in Beatlemania, writing songs all the while, getting them recorded by Robert Gordon and Lou Ann Barton, and finally creating a debut pop gem by which many people will forever remember the summer of ’82. In Marshall’s case, you can bet something’s gonna happen!
BEER: Boy Howdy!
